Joshua,
How would I go about creating the view. I've got it so it returns the ID
and then I'm a little stuck on how to return the formatted date, I can
return the date parts (dd, mm, yyyy) but can seem to tie them all together!
Also - how would I then reference the view instead of the table.
I'm really sorry if these questions are stupid - this is my first time using
views - I'm quite a novice at SQL. So if I'm asking about the basics I
won't mind if you point me to a page so I can go and read up on it instead
of using your time up!
Thank you

Yes, that is indeed one approach to the issue. Depending on your database,
there may be slightly different rules governing exactly how this can be done
in practice.
One thing that you may consider doing is creating a view on the table with
the DateCreated view that only returns the formatted date portion and the ID
field. Then, use the view in the join instead of [table2]. That may help
simplify the query.
